What User likes about La Balena:
the visit to this place did not disappoint our expectations. after waiting with impatience the opening, at the point Gigi, the holder, has raised the door lock. Yes, just a barn, entrance spartano as well as all the restaurant. True local, real trattoria without frills. dated furniture but perfectly fit the history of the room. Great appetizers, the best burrida I've ever eaten. soft octopus, tuna and delicious musse... View all feedback. What Michele489 doesn't like about La Balena:
This is one of the most traditional restaurants in Cagliari (which is a plus for me). The menu might be limited, but the quality is excellent. Fish dominates. The after dinner drinks are excellent too. I have been here many times and will return many times. One last thing: don't allow the area it is safe in spite of not being exactly elegant to impress you. View all feedback.

It is an osteria in all but has descended a bit in the quantity of what is proposed and in the speed of service. the kitchen is always great

Good food on the basis of fish. the local is simple the optimal food.

An unexpected restaurant management but it was a real surprise. Fresh food although the list was short. But this is because they propose daily food.
